Solution

The correct option is A Rhizome
Ginger (Rhizome) is a modified stem of a plant that grows horizontally underground. The roots and shoots grow from nodes of rhizomes. They are also called as creeping rootstocks. Rhizomes are diageotropic in nature meaning they grow perpendicular to the gravity force.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
